" The dishes here capture the essence of authentic Afghan hospitality! I had the pleasure of trying their bolani and felt it was one of the best I've had outside of Afghanistan! Plus, the hookah was a delightful addition to our evening. However, the service was a bit mixed; our server forgot part of our order but did apologize later. Nevertheless, the flavors of the food made up for the small inconvenience. I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible experience! I visited Fanous for the first time during a Saturday night, and I was blown away by the atmosphere. The music was just right, not too loud, allowing for easy conversation. I ordered the chicken kabob, and it was perfectly seasoned and grilled. The hummus was delightful, paired beautifully with the warm pita. I also tried the mint lemonade, which was refreshing. The service was quick and attentive; I felt taken care of without being pressured. Can't wait to come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" The only thing about Fanous is that you can expect a lively atmosphere regardless of when you go. The staff is generally friendly, but we had a new server who was a bit overwhelmed. The food itself was highly enjoyable; I loved my chicken kabob. The spacious interior allows for a comfortable dining experience, making it a solid choice for gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the atmosphere in Fanous! It's vibrant yet cozy and is a great place to enjoy delicious Afghan food. The service was friendly, but we did experience a delay in our order. The chicken kabob was juicy and well-spiced, a standout dish for me. All in all, I would recommend checking this place out for a nice evening with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the worst experience here. The service was inconsiderate and inattentive. My order was lost, and it took ages to get everything sorted. The food, when it finally arrived, was not even close to the authenticity I had hoped for—especially the rice which was disappointing. Overall, I would not recommend Fanous for dining as the experience was marred by poor service and lackluster food. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Fanous was mostly good, but I felt that the serving sizes left something to be desired. I had the combo plate which was tasty, but I expected larger portions for the price. The ambiance was really nice, and it had a great vibe for hanging out with friends. The service was decent, although our server took a while to check on us after we were seated. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fanous has quickly become my favorite place to indulge in delightful Afghan cuisine. The fresh flavors are incredible, and the portions are most generous! I highly recommend trying their mint lemonade, it complements the meal perfectly. The service is typically great but can get a little slow during peak hours. I enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, especially when there’s live music! This place really knows how to make a dining experience enjoyable. Overall, a must-visit for anyone in the area.
